This is a little bird from Sublime Stitching's "Tattoo Your Towels" pattern pack. Look at the gorgeous contrast between the split stitch fill-in on the body and the satin stitch of the feathers!
We love making converts to new crafts. From Jo's email:
"Have been an unstoppable embroidering force ever since - whip it out at every opportunity. Finished my tea towel from the class (and have attached some pictures) and now eagerly planning my next project."
Go, Jo, go!
If you want to sign up for one of our embroidery workshops, please visit The Make Lounge website.
And don't worry about where you'll get the supplies for your new craft - The Make Lounge is opening a retail space in September, where we'll be selling DMC embroidery thread, Sublime Stitching patterns (like we use in the workshops), scissors, fabric stabiliser, and everything else you might need. We're also going to sell all the best modern craft supplies, including fabrics, haberdashery/trimmings, stylish kits, jewellery-making tools, sewing machines/overlockers, books/magazines, handmade goods, and more. Whew!



Very pretty indeed! Can't wait to sign up to the embroidery course!
